How ?+India produced ~ 4.7 million tons ofpoultry meat in 2021. This number increases by 6% every year.+Avgweight of a chickenfarmed formeat is ~ 4 kg. 62%of meat is produced from achicken, hence 2.8 kg meat+4.7 millions tons of meant means~ 189 crores chickens killed* poultry meat production in 2021* avg weight of chicken

Blood Money+Our investments are our passive income+By sponsoring (investing) companies to grow their businesses we are allowing them to kill or cause cruelty to more and more animals+We prosper from these investments through dividends/profits which makes our money blood money+If we don't eat non-vegfood we shouldn't live our livelihood with such blood money too
